You should not be using a min of 8 for this. If you want 8 of the same mob reset in 8 different places then you should be using "reset # mob (vnum) 1 8". This will cause 1 mob to be reset to this (satisfying the minimum) and the other 7 resets of this mob will satisfy the maximum. If however you do not do 8 resets in different places for this mob then what you will end up with one of them resetting twice to satisfy the maximum. Sometimes this is desired, hence why the option exists. A max per room variable wouldn't help you at all on wandering mobs as you would end up trying to satisfy the max per room and would end up cloning your mobs a ton.

Well, the MUD usually, instead of putting 1 mob in each of the eight rooms, during auto resets, puts two or three MOBs in one room, and then there are some that don't get a reset MOB. This is not too terrible if they are wandering MOBs, but when you're making sentinel guards this is not a good thing. I was thinking of a way to fix this, and I determined that I could not make the MIN/MAX values calculate on a room basis, because with wandering MOBs you'd get too many...so I was thinking of adding another field maybe: max per room. Trouble is, I've only been coding for about 6 months, and I might be able to do it, but I'd rather not try and go into the OLC code without an idea of how I'm going to do it...especially because I need some way to convert the old resets to the new reset form. If anyone has any ideas on how I might do this (or how I might solve it in a different manner), I'd greatly appreciate to hear from you.
